In a few places, we fill a GEM object with data, or overwrite some

should mark the object dirty so that its pages in the pagecache are
written to backing store (rather than discarded) if the object is
evicted due to memory pressure.

The cases where only a single page is touched are dealt with in a
separate patch.

This incorporates and supercedes Alex Dai's earlier patch
[PATCH v1] drm/i915/guc: Fix a fw content lost issue after it is evicted

Hm, did you drop the begin_cpu_access dma-buf one here? See my other mail,
I think that one was legit.

I did, because I didn't know whether it was necessary and Chris was dubious. But I can easily reinstate it in the next (v3) series.
